To facilitate testing with relations using the /execute command, you can utilize the attached datapack, which enables visualization of relations. By incorporating the datapack and inputting the command

/execute as @e at @s on attacker run function snapshots:raycast_particles/2

into a repeating command block, it consistently displays a line of particles between an entity and its attacker.

Executing

/damage @s 1 generic by @e[type=minecraft:armor_stand,limit=1,sort=nearest]

to incur damage from an armor stand will reveal that the armor stand becomes your last attacker for 5 seconds.

On the other hand, executing

/damage @s 1 generic by @e[type=minecraft:item,limit=1,sort=nearest]

or similar actions with non-living entities like boats won't display a line of particles for 5 seconds.

Thank you for your report!
